Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a method a network system for delivering messages in a network comprising at least one terminal device.
  • the invention relates to delivering of messages and in particular to delivering of multimedia messages which are delivered by the so-called Multimedia Messaging Service (MMS).
  • MMS Multimedia Messaging Service
  • a Multimedia Message (MM) can contain all kind of messages, like pictures, video clips, sounds, speech etc., or any arbitrary combination of these.
  • the MMS provides a non-realtime service which operates partly in a store-and-forward fashion.
  • Multimedia messages are transmitted using an air interface (for example, a GPRS air interface, any Wireless LAN, UMTS etc.).
  • the multimedia messages can be sent from an identified user/application of a network (e.g., intranet) to a mobile station (MS), from the MS to the network (intranet or internet) or from the MS to another MS.
  • a network e.g., intranet
  • MS mobile station
  • MMSC Multimedia Messaging Service Centre
  • MS recipient mobile station
  • Multimedia messages usually have a validity period.
  • the messages are removed from the database of the MMSC in which they are stored if they cannot be delivered to the MS during the validity period.
  • the mobile terminated multimedia messages have two delivery options: The multimedia message is sent automatically to the recipient MS, or the recipient is informed of the arrived multimedia message using SMS, for example.
  • the notification contains at least the message size and the message identification.
  • the user can explicitly request the network to the multimedia message to the MS.
  • the choice between the delivery options can based on the message size or the message content type. For example, it can be set that messages less than 1000 kB are delivered automatically to the MS, or that text and voice messages are delivered automatically to the MS.
  • Document D1 US 5 493 692 A discloses a method, a system and a device as defined in the preambles of claims 1, 10 and 19 are placed in the preamble.
  • this document discloses a system in which a selective delivery of messages of a multiple computer system is possible, wherein messages may be sent to a group of users based on different user profiles.
  • the object underlying the invention resides in removing the above drawbacks of the prior art.
  • a condition can be set for delivering a message to a terminal. That is, if this condition is not met, the message is not delivered.
  • this measure the load on the network is reduced since no messages are transmitted which are not required.
  • a delivery report is sent to the originator of the message, i.e., the user of the multimedia message generator 1.
  • the delivery report is sent if the originator of the message is permitted to receive the delivery report.
  • the originators which are permitted to receive delivery reports from the particular terminal are stored in a list in a database. Thus, the user does not have to decide for each reception of a message whether a delivery report should be transmitted or not.
  • condition which is set for receiving or not receiving a message can be the location of the terminal, for example. That is, delivering of the message can be made dependent on whether the terminal, i.e., the user, is in a particular area. This is useful for transmitting advertisements, tourist information regarding a specific area or the like.
  • the location can be detected, for example, by accessing a Mobile Location Centre (MLC) for obtaining the latest position of the terminal.
  • MLC Mobile Location Centre
  • the location could also be available, for example at the home location register (HLR) or visitor location register (VLR).
  • HLR home location register
  • VLR visitor location register
  • an originator of the messages can be listed in a database of the terminal device, i.e., the mobile station.
  • this originator can be included in such a database. Then, receiving of the message can easily be permitted.
  • the originator can belong to a group which is defined on the network side. Thus, if the user of the terminal device is always interested to receive messages from this originator group, this group can be listed in the database.
  • the recipient of the messages can be in a specific state with respect to willingness to receive messages in general or messages of given type or category.
  • the state of the recipient may be enquired by the deciding means.
  • the category condition of the message may have been set at the originator side automatically by the network, e.g., in order to prevent advertisement type of messaging without permission.
  • the information regarding the condition for receiving a message can be included in an optional field of the message. Hence, the information necessary to judge whether the deciding step is required can easily be detected within the message.
  • the terminal device can be determined as being inactive or busy in case it is decided that the condition is not met.
  • a terminal device can be handled in the same way as if the terminal is not available in the moment. That is, no special procedure for handling messages which do not meet the condition is required.
  • it can be decided whether delivering of the message should be tried later again or whether the message should not be delivered at all, as it is possible for a normal communication (e.g., phone call or fax transmission).
  • a group of users can be defined which may receive delivery reports. That is, if the decision as to whether an originator is permitted to receive delivery reports, a detection whether the originator is a member of the group is sufficient. This measure simplifies the decision.
  • a group identifier can be added or attached to the message. Hence, an easy detection is possible.
  • the message can be a multimedia message.
  • the above advantages are considerably important since multimedia messages are usually large. Therefore, the load on the network due to messages not required can be reduced considerably.
  • the network can be a mobile network and the terminal device can be a mobile station.
  • the invention is advantageously since a mobile network usually has only limited capacities for transmitting large messages.
  • Fig. 1 shows a general structure of a network system according to the embodiment.
  • multimedia messages are delivered via a mobile network.
  • the network system comprises a multimedia message generator 1, a Multimedia Messaging Services Centre MMSC 2 as an example for a message delivering device, a mobile network 3 and a mobile station MS 4 as an example for a terminal device, which is adapted to receive and reproduce multimedia messages.
  • the multimedia message generator 1 is a device by which a multimedia message is generated and transmitted to the mobile network. By this network element, a user can generate a multimedia message.
  • the multimedia message generator 1 can be a mobile station which is adapted to generate such multimedia messages, for example. According to this embodiment, however, it is assumed that the multimedia message generator 1 is fixed and connected to the MMSC 2 via a fixed network.
  • the multimedia message generator 1 can be realised by a computer including a modem (wherein the multimedia messages are sent to the MMSC via the Internet or Intranet), or by a specially designed terminal or the like.
  • the specific feature of the multimedia message generator 1 according to the present invention is that the user can set a condition for receiving the multimedia message by the MS 4.
  • the condition is the location of the MS 4. That is, the message should only transmitted to the MS 4 in case the MS 4 is located in a certain area.
  • the location condition can be that the MS 4 is located in a particular town or is located in its Home Public Land Mobile Network (HPLMN), home country, in Europe or the like.
  • the multimedia message generator 1 comprises a condition setting means 11 by which a condition regarding the message can be set.
  • the condition setting means 11 sets the information regarding the location condition in an optional field of the multimedia message.
  • the multimedia message containing the information regarding the location is transmitted by a message transmitter 12 to the MMSC 2.
  • the MMSC 2 is a network element necessary for delivering of multimedia messages, as already described in the introductory part. According to this embodiment, the MMSC is expanded by functions for delivering the messages in which a condition for receiving can be set. For simplifying the description, only these additional means are described and shown in Fig. 1 .
  • the MMSC 2 comprises a multimedia message delivery deciding means 21 which investigates the multimedia message received from the multimedia message generator 1. This is effected by checking the optional field of the multimedia message. That is, the multimedia message delivery deciding means 21 extracts the location condition information. The multimedia message delivery deciding means 21 knows from the normal address block of the multimedia message to which mobile station the multimedia message is to be transmitted.
  • the deciding means 21, i.e., the MMSC accesses a Mobile Location Centre MLC 5 which provides the required location information regarding the MS 4. It is to be noted that this network element or a similar element is usually provided in all mobile networks.
  • a failure returning means 22 of the MMSC 2 sends a message back to the multimedia generator 1.
  • this message is the same message as if the MS 4 would be not available. Hence, for the message generator 1, the MS 4 is considered as not being reachable.
  • the multimedia message is received by a multimedia message receiver 41 of the MS 4.
  • the multimedia message is then reproduced by using a message reproducing means 42 which can be a combination of a display and a loudspeaker, for example.
  • the MS 4 comprises a delivery report handler 43.
  • This handler 43 serves to judge whether a delivery report should be transmitted or not. Namely, the user of the generator 1 can select that a delivery report should be transmitted back to him in response to reception of the multimedia message by the MS 4. However, by this measure the location of a user of the MS 4 could be traced. The user might not wish that the message originator can get aware of his location, and by providing the handler 43 sending of undesired delivery reports can be avoided.
  • the delivery report handler 43 accesses an originator database 44 in which the user of the MS 4 has stored a list of originators which may receive delivery reports.
  • a list of originators can also be stored on the network, i.e., in a suitable network element, e.g., the MMSC.
  • a group of users which are permitted to receive delivery reports can be defined.
  • a group identifier can be added or attached to the message such that the delivery report handler 43 has only to check whether a group identifier is present in the message (e.g., in a corresponding optional field) and whether members of this group are permitted to receive delivery reports.
  • Group identifiers can also be stored in the database 44.
  • the delivery report is transmitted by a delivery report transmitter 45 via the mobile network 3 to the message generator 1.
  • the method according to this embodiment is summarised by referring to the flow charts shown in Figs. 2 and 3 .
  • Steps S1 and S4 are carried out by the message generator. That is, a message is generated (step S1). Then, the condition for receiving the multimedia message is set (step S2). In the present embodiment, the condition is a location condition. The receiving condition information is set in an optional field of the multimedia message (step S3) and the multimedia message is supplied to the MMSC 2 (step S4).
  • the MMSC 2 accesses the receiving condition information of the multimedia message (step S5) and decides whether the receiving condition is met or not (step S6). In case the receiving condition is not met (NO in step S6), a message that the MS 4 is inactive or busy is sent to the multimedia message generator 1. In case the receiving condition is met (YES in step S8), the multimedia message is actually transmitted via the mobile network 3 to the MS 4.
  • step S9 a delivery report handle procedure is carried out which is described with reference to the flowchart shown in Fig. 3 . This procedure is carried out by the delivery report handler 43.
  • step S91 it is determined whether a delivery report is requested for the current multimedia message. In case no delivery report is requested (NO in step S91), the procedure is immediately ended. In case a delivery report is requested (YES in step S91), the originator database 44 is accessed (step S92). Then, it is determined whether the originator of the current multimedia message is permitted to receive delivery reports in step S93. That is, if the originator of the present multimedia message could not be found in the database 44, it is determined that the present originator is not allowed to receive delivery reports (NO in step S93), and the procedure is ended without transmitting a delivery report.
  • the present originator may receive delivery reports (YES in step S93), and a delivery report is transmitted to the originator (step S94).
  • the MS 4 does not comprise an originator database 44.
  • the delivery report handler 43 comprises an operation panel (not shown) by which the user of the MS 4 can input whether he wishes transmitting of the delivery report of the current multimedia message or not.
  • the user has to decide regarding the delivery report for every multimedia message.
  • this measure has the advantage that the structure of the MS 4 can be simplified and its costs can be reduced since no database is required.
  • the embodiment of the invention and the modification thereof may vary within the scope of the attached claims.
  • the embodiment and the modification thereof can be combined. That is, in case the originator of the current multimedia message could not be found in the database 44, the MS 4 can be arranged such that the user has to input whether he wishes to transmit the delivery report nevertheless. Furthermore, the user can be asked whether he wishes to store such a new originator in the database 44.
  • a default value can be provided in the MS.
  • Such a default value is used for delivery report sending and can indicate, always send/always confirm/never send for example.
  • the user of the MS has a further possibility to control sending of the delivery report in an easy manner.
  • the message delivering device is included in the MMSC which is a general control element for MMS (Multimedia Messaging Services).
  • MMS Multimedia Messaging Services
  • this device can also be a separate network element or can be included in other network elements, when appropriate.
  • the multimedia message generator can also be a part of a mobile station and the connection between the message generator and the MMSC (multimedia message delivering device) can be provided by the mobile network.
  • the terminal device 4 is not limited to a mobile station, this could be also a fixed station.
  • condition setting means 11 has been described as a part of the multimedia message generator 1.
  • condition setting means can also be an independent network element.
  • the messages can be generated in a another network under a different administration, whereas the condition is set in the present network, for example in a proxy server or the like.
  • condition described above is not limited to the location condition.
  • certain information regarding the user of the addressed terminal can be used to set conditions.
  • the multimedia message delivery deciding means 21 has to be correspondingly modified such that it can access to corresponding databases, for example to the HLR or VLR or more sophisticated databases.
  • a user can decide whether he desires to receive a message or not in advance.
  • an originator of the messages can be listed in a database of the terminal device, i.e., the mobile station.
  • this originator can be included in such a database. Then, receiving of the message can easily be permitted.
  • Such originators can also be included in a group of originators. Thus, this group can be included in the database.
  • the recipient of the messages can be in a specific state with respect to willingness to receive messages in general or messages of given type or category.
  • the state of the recipient may be enquired by the deciding means.
  • the category condition of the message may have been set at the originator side automatically by the network, e.g., in order to prevent advertisement type of messaging without permission.
